Finding a Home Inspector

Irv Rollman
  • Albuquerque, NM
Posted

Two questions I guess...

First, how would I find a good home inspector? Are there home inspector trade associations that maintain websites? How would I figure out who was good? Thorough? Comprehensive? In the past, for the 3 personal homes I bought, I took the realtors' recommendations. I was just whelmed in all cases - not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed, just whelmed. And on my current home, it didn't occur to me to get a sewer inspection, which cost me $5K later.

Second, and more specific, any recommendations in the Albuquerque area? I'd want someone who could inspect hands-off - I would not be able to attend the inspection.

Third (OK, I know I said two), I'd want a home inspector, sewer inspector (which I assume is separate).... Anything else?

Thanks in advance!
